There’s one thing I need to tell you: On Authentic-difficulty, or worse, on Authentic Plus, loot will be scarce and, whenever you find some, never what you really need at that moment. Slow Heart-Rate Increase means that, again, you will be able to recover a little faster. Yes, Increased Heart-Rate Recovery was already a thing at Rank 5, but on Rank 25 you might be considering playing coop or multiplayer, right? So, best come prepared. Rank 25: Slow Heart-Rate Increase or Increased Heart-Rate Recovery If you have yet to learn the maps by heart and therefore don’t know where a stray shot might be blowing you up instead of the enemy, I’d opt for the Reduced Explosion Damage-skill.īut once you are playing coop on Sniper Elite-difficulty, you’ll know which treacherous barrels to shoot and you’ll also know that mines will be harder to come by, so the Faster Trap Defusing Speed will come in way more handy. Rank 20: Reduced Explosion Damage or Faster Trap Defusing Speed I’d nevertheless recommend the Improved Bandage, especially for higher difficulties. Rank 15: Reduced Fall Damage or Improved Bandageĭo you jump or fall off buildings a lot? Well, SNIPER ELITE 4 introduces more climbing opportunities and therefore more opportunities for falling off buildings too. Once you are playing on Sniper Elite-difficulty, I’d recommend improving the search skill. Improved Search is useful for getting more loot out of searching dead bodies, which, admittedly, is also useful.

Tagging enemies is important, since it is so easy losing track of them else, right? This skill helps you tag them faster. Rank 10: Target-focus Speed or Improved Search Max Heart Rate means you will be able to focus longer while Increased Heart-Rate Recovery means that you will be able to focus again at an increased rate, after having just beaten a fast retreat and relocated. Why is that so important? Well, since you will only be able to focus and gain a solid aim on a resting heart-beat, the faster you can get back to that resting heart beat, the faster you can start sniping again.

This will grant you the ability to control your heart rate better. Rank 5: Max Heart Rate or Increased Heart-Rate Recovery (compound effect) You will, of course, be able to modify those skills whenever you like from your Player Loadout-menu.

The skill tree mentioned in the beginning offers you two choices to pick from with each specific rank mentioned above that you obtain. That’s what my Skill Tree looks like in SNIPER ELITE 4.
